Romney is the best choice for Iowa

The Press-Citizen Editorial Board's endorsement of President Obama for a second term missed the mark. In making excuses for him, the editorial neglects to mention that for the first two years of Obama's first term, Democrats controlled both houses of Congress.

Obama failed to lead. His shortcomings fall squarely on his own shoulders, and his record speaks to his priorities.

What, exactly, are those priorities? Job-killing legislation like Obamacare at a time when 23 million Americans are struggling to find work. The company I work for already has announced health care premiums will go up due to Obamacare. Spending trillions more than we take in while giving government handouts to now-bankrupt companies like Solyndra, then passing on the tab to future generations.

Here in Iowa, we value common sense and fiscal responsibility. We know that it doesn't make sense to saddle job creators with new taxes and regulations when the economy is already weak. We know that it it's immoral to leave our children with more than $16 trillion of debt.

And we worry four more years of President Obama would mean four more years of the same.

The status quo isn't working for middle class families, and Mitt Romney will deliver the change America needs.

Romney has proposed a series of sensible policies to get people back to work and get our deficits under control. He won't blame others in Washington; he'll work with them to get things done.

And that's why Romney is the clear choice for Iowa.
